—
Matt Barnes和Austin Davis没入选，红袜改用泽村拓一和Darwinzon Hernandez
2. J.D. Martinez说他打第六棒的原因之一是脚踝问题，他在外卡战结束后跟Cora说他不知道脚踝何时会不舒服、也不确定上场后表现会不会受影响，怕会对Bogaerts-Devers连线造成影响。因此Cora问他是否同意被摆在Verdugo之后，J.D. Martinez表示他不在意。“结果我们还有一场得了14分，也许这行得通。面对光芒和太空人这种分析能力强的团队也许就要用这种锯齿打线。”
3. Cora宣布Game 1先发是Chris Sale、Game 2是Nathan Eovaldi
—
Sale说他认为自己找回了Changeup和Fastball的控球
—
Cora说红袜很满意Sale现在的状况，“我们不会把他当opener”
—
Merloni认为这跟Houck/Pivetta调度有关，若Sale在Game 2先发然后爆炸的话，这两人其中之一可能无法在Game 4上场
4. Cora说2018年季后赛用先发投手去扛牛棚角色的起源是Steven Wright突然受伤，他决定跟Porcello和Eovaldi说他们会去支援牛棚
5. 太空人Game 1先发是Framber Valdez、Game 2是Luis Garcia
